Surprisingly there is alot ot 442s at Eastleigh i did not manage to plod over the works last weekend the EDs kinda grabbed me attention :P

 

[thefab444]

Talking o' EDs, 73235 is back at Wimbledon...

 

[332 > 444]

Its a shame about these trains, the 444s are ok but no intercity feel. I hope -20 year trains wont go to scrap.

My name says it all

Cant they fit new traction equip

Oh man if Adrantz made a completely new bodyshell over a slam door unit cant someone (somewhere) fit new traction units? (to think ive only been on these trains 4 times but i like them)

 

[thefab444]

I dislike 332s, I think they're a bit shabby, the TV thing is totally useless, from the outside they look sleek though. Prefer the 360/2s IMO, but they aren't really suitable for the Heathrow Express, perfect for Connect though.

444s feel pretty intercity to me, I think its because they are quite light inside, they feel as if they've no vestibules - although in the (P)TSOWLRMB they don't...

 

[332 > 444]

Its in the system as to run but I have not seen any other times.

Dont forget although the pigs are going off lease they still need to go off for refurbishment and will from now all appear in white and grey livery. These still need to be hadned back in working order to arriva trains, Thats why some of the ones with the broken windscreens wont be going anywhere for the time being.

Arriva? Dont they run on non-electrified and AC lines? What use can DC trains be on them routes? Excuse the n00b-ness.

Angel Trains.

Ask JDS app 13 is back wa??:withstup:

 

[960012]

2413 isnt back its in store with the rest of them!

 

[thefab444]

Where did you get such a ridiculous idea from? Fortunately I managed to get a ride in on 13 on the short while when it was back as a full set but before it got stored.

I wish now that I'd kept track on which Pigs I went on and when, heh. It was at least twice a week every week for 8 months last year.

I can roughly work out that it has been all of them. If I can remember from my old MU spotting book pre 1992 then I had about 20 of them down for haulage already and it was just 4 2401, 2410, 2423 and 2424 in which I have had haulage on these units over the past couple of years.

The below list is taken from my website and has been compiled as upto date. Apparently I amreading that 2424 has now been handed to Gatwick Express!!!

2401 - Stored Eastleigh 22/01/07
2402 - Stored Eastleigh 16/02/07

Yeah, same here. I really can't think of one that I didn't hop on at one point.

Thanks for the update!

 

[960012]

I know i had haulage on all of them as i kept a recored once id completed them all i didnt really take note anymore, i think number 7 was the most popular on the journey home from dads!

Yer, I meant when it was back as 2413, not hybrid, but before twas stored. So in refurb condition.

yer, i went on it before the Windscreen got smashd!

 

[Kris]

2415 had its 2nd man's (or woman's :-P ) windscreen smashed too on the 1st of November. Some idiot dropped a concrete breeze block off a bridge at Totton.

We are lucky down this way in that such incidents are rare - needless to say though, this could have killed the driver had it been on his side.

No 15 borrowed the windscreen from 2402 whilst that went to be refurbished with the 2nd man's side plated over.

Hmm, makes the Pigs look even more ugly!

A bit O/T, but out of interest, is that a 458 behind?

Just - took a Disastro round to the depot - still a couple of pigs there but I didn't stop long to check the numbers. They are around about 15 & 16 road near the fence.

They should be 16, 18 and 23 that are still there. Have no idea yet as to when they are going to move.

(Sorry being distracted by Madonna strutting herself on the lap top oooerr!!!)

Yup - took a Disastro on tonight. 16's there (with the driver's window left open - going to be soaked inside) and 18. Didn't see 23 but it's probably behind 16. Both 'cut-out' with no red lamps on them - which is unusual because they are normally very strict about that.

73109 still there but I did hear that SWT only want to keep one 73 now so I don't know what the future holds for the other two. GBRF peut-etre?

The very last Pig 2412 onto the depot 3/2/07 seen from its nemesis - the Disastro I took on behind it.
